I have made a selection of masculine birthday cards using the DSP with other stamps and dies.

Tips:

Card 1:
- This one uses the Diorama Dies with images from Sailing Home Stamp Set and coordinating Smooth Sailing Dies. The sentiment is from Blossoms in Bloom

Card 2:
- The DSP has been ripped and both sides used to create the sea / sand.
- The shells and sea grass used Mother of Pearl Specialty Paper with the Seaside Seashells Dies and coordinating Seashells 3D Embossing Folder. They were coloured with Petal Pink and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers.
- The sentiment is from Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set.

Card 3:
- This one is a Vertical Side Step Card. Thanks to LeeAnn Greff for the original inspiration. I have amended the measurements to suit our A4 cardstock.
- The card base is Mint Macaron and the sentiment is from Friendly Hello stamp set.
- I have added a few of the Rhinestones – not too much bling for a masculine card!

Card 4:
- The last card today is a standard easel card.
- The frame, shells and sea grass used Mother of Pearl Specialty Paper with the Seaside Seashells Dies and coordinating Seashells 3D Embossing Folder. They were coloured with Petal Pink, Crumb Cake and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers,
- The sentiment is from Happiest of Birthdays stamp set.
